El presente trabajo se sustenta en la construcción de la problemática que identifica a las tecnologías como paradigma de cambio en la educación, dejando de lado que, si estas no se utilizan bajo un enfoque didáctico planeado y organizado, los resultados pueden ser contraproducentes. Los objetivos de la investigación fueron: conocer y analizar las percepciones que el estudiante tiene respecto al aprendizaje significativo que alcanza a través de los cursos mediados tecnológicamente y estudiar las percepciones que el docente universitario tiene con relación a las estrategias de enseñanza mediadas por tecnología que utiliza, todo esto en una modalidad mixta. El estudio se llevó a cabo en una universidad mexicana en la carrera de Derecho. La metodología es de corte cualitativo y se abordó bajo la perspectiva teórica de la fenomenología, para lo cual se diseñaron dos tipos de entrevistas semiestructuradas. Los resultados muestran que la falta de creatividad y retroalimentación por parte del docente ha sido un factor que merma el proceso de aprendizaje del estudiante. Finalmente se sugiere continuar con este tipo de estudios que conlleven a relacionar las modalidades educativas, las estrategias de enseñanza, la mediación tecnológica y el aprendizaje significativo.

Project work is an essential feature in design education and curriculum and the major assessment that students need to work on. Project-based assessment is one of the promising approaches for assessing students' performance in design education. It is also the appropriate pedagogical approach for teaching design. In project-based assessment, students need to finish several tasks, such as identify a problem, research on relevant materials, suggest possible solutions to the problems, realize the chosen solution, make the artifacts and evaluate it in a project. It is natural and indubitable in the design classes – teachers and students would probably accept it without any questions. However, in the recent years, project work in design education at secondary school levels has been developed in some new directions that it is significantly differentiated from the traditional project work in the past. It is then interesting to review the historical development of secondary school design education and understand the practice of project-based assessment. The design curricula of Singapore and Hong Kong are chosen for case study and comparison in this chapter. Through examining the similar background of curriculum development of Singapore and Hong Kong, the comparison and the discussions of the chapter also highlight some issues and the future development of curriculum and assessment in K-20 education of both places. The aims of the chapter are to (1) review the history of curriculum development in Singapore and Hong Kong secondary school design education; (2) review the project-based assessment in the design curricular in both places; and (3) discuss the general and specific issues of curriculum development and project-based assessment based on the reviews.
